HOW TO ASSEMBLE
UPPER HANDLES &
PLASTIC CARRYING
HANDLE.
1. Lightly squeeze the lower
handles (#3) toward one
another so that they line up
with the two smaller holes on
the carrying handle (#29). Then
slide the carrying handle over
and down the lower handles. It
will rest about four to six inches
above the engine. (Picture 1)
2. Gently pull the lower
handles out to their original
position.
3. Attach the upper handle
assembly (#1) – the handle with
the throttle cable and ground
wire – with the handle knob
(#40) and 1 round head bolt
(#39)
(Picture #2).
Be sure
you have proper throttle
movements and that the
throttle cable is not wrapped
or twisted around the handle
bar. Squeeze trigger and let go.
The triangle must click in both
directions. If there is any doubt,
remove air filter and visually
check that the throttle triangle
hits both the idle screw and the
full open stop. THIS MUST BE
DONE BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINE.
4. Follow the same steps to
install the other upper handle
onto the other lower handle.

5. Use the clip (#6) to secure
the throttle cable and wire in
place on the lower handle.

6. Now install the Handle
Brace. Line it up with the holes
on the upper handles. Then
insert a Cap Screw (#34) and a
Lock Nut (#35) on either side
(Picture 5)
7. Use a wrench to tighten
Cap Screws and Lock Nuts.
8. Now use wrench to tighten
all nuts and bolts firmly and
securely.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure you have
installed the handles
properly. When you stand
behind your tiller, holding
the handles, you should
face the gasoline tank.
